Chapter 657 Another Kind of Love Parents Have for Their Children
"Ten days after the release of Tiny Times 3, the total box office has accumulated 440 million. The daily box office has continued to decline sharply, less than 6 million, and the box office potential is about to be exhausted."
"After three days of the first weekend, Han Han's debut film "See You Tomorrow" closed at 210 million, and was initially recognized by the industry."
"Looking back at Zhou Jielun, Xu Zheng, Zhao Wei, Guo Jingming, Han Han and others, cross-border directors have become a popular trend in the film industry, and professional directors will face severe tests."
"Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are fully armed, galloping and chasing on the track, heroic and valiant!"
...
At noon, Wang Changtian hosted a banquet for everyone.
Lin Nan was not worried about Liu Yifei's lunch. The two greedy girlfriends would never treat themselves badly, but would only eat better.
Not long after, the two posted food photos on Weibo and tagged Lin Nan, showing off.
Then many people in the circle commented and joked below, calling Lin Nan to pay the bill and redeem the people.
Lin Nan had a slight smile on his face. He put down his chopsticks, picked up his phone and replied to Liu Yifei:
"Let the restaurant kill him or wash dishes... I can't afford it anymore."
Wang Changtian and others looked at Lin Nan's "sickening" expression and couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing. Young people!
Weibo was very lively.
"Director Lin is so arrogant. He dared to say such things! I bet he will be beaten when he goes back today!"
"Is this paving the way for "improving life" again? Huayi's stock price seems to be very good these two days."
"Give me an address, I will redeem him for Director Lin..."
"It's like this before we get married. The identification is complete. Director Lin Nan is undoubtedly a scumbag!"
...
"Director Lin, Mr. Wang, I have tentatively scheduled the start time of "Lost in Hong Kong" to be the end of September or the beginning of October. By then, all the leading actors' schedules will be fine."
Xu Zheng raised his glass to toast and drank it in one gulp.
"The post-production of Wolf Warriors needs to be done completely by the end of the year. Director Lin knows that I was injured during the filming and missed a lot of scenes in SPL 2. I have to join the crew for reshoots."
Wu Yi drank tea instead of wine. He had to drive his wife home soon.
The people at the table had the highest status and position, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian, while Bao Beier and Liu Yan had the lowest status and position.
When the dinner was almost over, Liu Yan finally summoned up the courage to apologize to Lin Nan on behalf of her friend.
"Director Lin, don't be so mean to Dapeng. He just wants to succeed too much. He wants to find anyone to guest star. He has no bad intentions. In the morning, Director Xu and Brother Yi were both annoyed by him and wanted to be pulled into his Pancake Man crew..."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yan and smiled. To be honest, he didn't care too much.
From beginning to end, he didn't give the other party a bad look. He was just a little annoyed. He really had the energy of a dog-skin plaster.
Besides, didn't he give advice in the end?
If it was Chen Kaige, he would have been angry. Jiang Wen would probably have said something negative too. He is very good at saying negative things to people. He often says negative things to the media and teaches others how to behave.
"Are you on good terms?" Lin Nan asked with interest.
"We are both from grassroots backgrounds, so we get along well and are considered very good friends." Liu Yan also said bluntly.
"If you really want to go down the path of being a film director, the first film is very important. Especially the script story, which is the most important. If the reputation of the first film is bad, it will become extremely difficult later.
His series of web dramas "Diaosi Men" has a high number of hits on the Internet. But if he copies this set to make a feature film, I really don't think it will work because there is no story to speak of. You can convey this to him and polish the script carefully."
Lin Nan said kindly. He had a good impression of Liu Yan.
In addition, it was what he once said to Han Sanping. Movies with the word "xia" in them, whether they are co-productions or domestic films, are hard to describe.
For example: "Wuxia", "Tai Chi Hero", "Magic Couple"...
"Director Lin is right, it is indeed like this." Xu Zheng nodded in agreement.
"My first movie "Wolf Tooth" flopped, but fortunately the word of mouth is okay." Wu Wu laughed and laughed at himself.
"For a director, the word of mouth of the first movie is more important than the box office." Lin Nan gave a final conclusion.
"Well, thank you Director Lin, Director Xu, and Brother Wu. I will convey it to him."
Liu Yan said gratefully.
But she knew in her heart that Dapeng would probably not listen, because he wanted to repeat the success of "Diaosi Man" in the movie.

"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: The Kingdom of the Moon" joined the battle in the second half of the summer season on Thursday, the last day of July.
The beauty of Lian Nishang, played by Fan Bingbing, is one of the biggest selling points of this movie.
At the same time, the domestic animated movie "Dragon Nest: Dawn of the Dragon" adapted from the online game was also released.
Hu Ge, Jing Tian, Xu Jiao and others attended the press conference together to support the film.
It was a rare trip to the capital, so Hu Ge invited Lin Nan out for coffee.
After all, his last TV series was "Nirvana in Fire" co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures.
"Congratulations to Director Lin in person again, happy engagement next month. When the wedding is officially held, I will definitely prepare a big red envelope."
I heard from Hu Ge that he will join the crew at the beginning of next month, which is a few days later.
Tangren has launched a new TV series, the youth inspirational "Tornado Eleven", which is about football.
The supporting actress also includes Zeng Li, who is currently in the crew of "Mojin: The Lost Legend", but she will definitely focus on "Mojin: The Lost Legend" first.
Zeng Li will join the crew of "The Eleven" when the scenes of the later movies are almost done.
Tangren has been obviously on a downward trend in the past two years and is no longer as glorious as it was in the past.
I heard that many old employees who worked behind the scenes of the crew were poached by companies such as Xinli and Huace at high prices, and they were poached in the form of a team.
Among the artists, only Hu Ge and Liu Shishi are still holding on, and they are two first-line stars, while the rest are still tepid.
The dream of going public that has been planned for several years has been completely shattered.
However, "Nirvana in Fire" also opened up a new situation for Hu Ge. He heard that Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng of Noon Sunshine are very optimistic about him.
They even promised that they would look for him again if there is a suitable role in the future.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cai is rarely so generous."
Putting down the coffee in his hand and looking at the scenery outside, Lin Nan joked.
"Haha, I don't have many shares. In fact, many companies have approached me privately, and I have thought about leaving. But some favors are hard to repay."
Hu Ge said with some emotion, and Lin Nan did not comment.
If there had not been that car accident, there might not be Hu Ge now;
But with that car accident, he would have been tied to Tangren, and it would be hard to repay the favor. After all, Cai Yinong was considered to be loyal and righteous at that time.
After chatting for about an hour and promising to send Hu Ge a wedding invitation as soon as possible, the two of them left with laughter.

News came from Hong Kong Island that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" has officially started filming.
What the industry did not expect was that the news that came out a few days ago was that it was exclusively produced by Weinstein Films.
But at the launch conference today, the shadow of China Film appeared.
La Peikang couldn't help but learn from Han Sanping and chose to take a gamble on the "big IP" of the previous work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
He snatched "food" from Shanghai Film Group and bought a lot of investment shares from Weinstein Film Group at a premium, becoming one of the only two producers.
This "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" has naturally become a Sino-US co-production!
When Lin Nan saw this news at home, he was shocked.
Such a big pit, why did La Peikang jump in?
Although it is a sequel, the production team has changed 99%! How can it be the same?
"Sometimes, it is a blessing that Director Ren can't compete with China Film Group." Lin Nan complained.
"Mom will be back in two days. She asked if there is any news from the venue?"
Liu Yifei put on a facial mask and asked Lin Nan in the living room on the second floor.
"Well, no problem, it's already been booked. It's just us that day, I asked someone to book that place, and keep it secret."
Some places are very meaningful to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and this engagement party is still there.
"Okay, I'll call my mother back later. And what about uncle's schedule?"
Lin Nan looked up at the second floor and teased with a smile, "Oh, Princess Sissi is a little eager to get married? You've considered everything so thoroughly."
Under the translucent mask, Liu Yifei's cheeks bulged, "Why, it's not possible. I hope uncle will come and beat you up as soon as possible!"
"Haha, of course. I'll come at the end of the middle of the month. It's rare to come ten days in advance. He always can't let go of his diners."
"Oh, that's good, then we'll go to the airport together." Liu Yifei nodded and smiled.
Only Lin Nan knew that he had fought for it to come ten days in advance.
Parents are sometimes very contradictory, especially some of the older generation.
Aren't they excited when their children get engaged and married? Of course they are excited and want to come earlier.
But on the other hand, they also have their own stubbornness.
That is, they think their children have their own lives and families, and they are unwilling or dare not disturb them too much.
Even in their opinion, their children are going to get married, and they are getting old, which may become very annoying.
In fact, this is also another kind of love that parents have for their children, which is sometimes sad.
…………
A new day, the film and television industry and the entertainment industry have once again become the target of public criticism.
It’s only half of this year, but there are too many people who have committed crimes.
Public opinion can no longer be suppressed. This time, the public is really angry!
Online news, all walks of life, countless netizens, are cursing the entertainment industry for harboring filth.
Stars and celebrities make so much money, but they always break the law unscrupulously. Either they are involved in pornography and prostitution, or they are drug addicts.
Many official microblogs are crowded with a large number of indignant netizens, demanding that the relevant departments thoroughly deal with this chaos in the entertainment industry.
When Lin Nan got up in the morning and had breakfast, he was also shocked by the news on the Internet.
"Alas, another one seeking death!"
